There is joy for old people by: Anonymous
I never realized how lonely and depressing it could get for old people until my father died and my mom, his wife of 53 years was alone. She found new excitement in a club for seniors called "Purple hats and blue hair."
No matter their disability, they come once a month with their old time jokes and laugh at themselves and play games and collect prizes and sing. When they leave, they phone each other. When you are younger, all your focus is on the joy of your family, but when they leave, you need your friends more.
You have to focus on experiencing joy with people of your own interests and who move at your pace. Its just life.
Stars and Stripes by: Anonymous
Like the winds that calm us, and the rains that give us feelings of wetness, old men and women are forgotten because of the breakdown of family values. They can not see the stars because no one will take them the enlightenment of conversation nor the comfort of books. And there is no community that refreshes the delights of the old.
The old have lived to see, to feel, and to wait for death. But death comes because the community and what was family have no time to stop and share the roses.
